Vanilla Bean Buttercream by Annie's Eats. It tastes like vanilla ice cream and crusts very well.

This crusts very well. I used it just this past weekend for the 1st time & everyone raved about my cake.

Crusting Buttercream
1 bag powder sugar (two pounds or about eight cups)
1 cup shortening (I used original Crisco)
2 tsp vanilla extract (use clear if want white frosting)
1/2 cup - 3/4 cup milk
Instructions

Cream shortening and vanilla in mixer for 2-4 minutes. Add in powder sugar, one cup at a time. If you find your mixer struggling, slowing add in milk. Use more milk for a creamy consistency, use less milk for a stiff consistency.
Alternate Method:
Use 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortening. Place room temp. butter and shortening in mixer. Put entire bag of powder sugar on top, then add vanilla and 1/2 cup milk. Turn mixer on low and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Turn mixer up to med-high and mix for 2-4 minutes. Can add more milk to reach desired consistency.

**Can do 1/2 butter 1/2 crisco
